Chapter 79 He Doesn’t Need Your Concern
Tears welled up in Aella’s eyes. “With you always protecting her, do you think I’d dare?”
They locked eyes for a moment, and Tyrone’s gaze wavered.

He quickly looked down and tried to shift the topic. “How’s Clyde’s hand? I’ll check on him.”

His attitude cut her deep.
Thinking about her brother’s strained expression and the hurt in his wrist, Aella felt a sharp ache in her chest.
Smack!
Without thinking, she slapped Tyrone across the face.
The sharp sound echoed through the scene, leaving a heavy silence behind.
Tyrone turned, staring at her in shock. Anger flickered in his eyes.
Her eyes were red as she snapped, “Clyde has always looked up to you and wanted to be close to you. But you hurt him for a woman! You don’t even deserve to be his brother–in–law.”
Aella stormed off. Tyrone didn’t try to stop her.
At home, she found Clyde looking pale and hurt, guilt eating away at her.
Leaving his room with tears, she told her parents, “Dad, Mom, this is all my fault.”
Miriam quietly wiped her tears, heart aching for her kids.
Warren looked dejected. He lowered his head, trying to comfort Aella. “Your brother is always hot–headed. Let him learn the hard way.”
Aella went back to her room and let the tears finally fall.
While crying, she grabbed her phone and messaged her lawyer, Patrick Johnson.
If Tyrone refused to sign the divorce papers, she was ready to fight in court.
Meanwhile, Tyrone settled into his new apartment at Bluehaven.
On the balcony, Brad stood next to Tyrone. They leaned on the railing, cigarettes in hand.

When Brad heard what happened to Clyde, he gave Tyrone a thumbs–up. “You actually hit your brother–in–law? Man, you’ve got guts. Respect.”
Tyrone’s expression darkened. “I didn’t hit him. He tried to pull away and dislocated his wrist.”
Brad rolled his eyes. “Zera knew Aella would misunderstand, but she went anyway. If I were Clyde, I’d have punched her too.”
Tyrone shook his head. “Zera just wanted to make peace, convince Aella to come back and live with me. She meant no harm.”
After a pause, he added, “Clyde has been spoiled. He’s stubborn and protective. He’ll even fight with me, so there’s no way he’ll go easy on Zera.”
Brad stubbed out his cigarette, trying to talk some sense into Tyrone. “Look, the whole Reid family has a bad attitude–they’re useless. Aella is spoiled and dramatic. Apart from her looks, she can’t even compare to Zera. You’d better divorce her and send her far away.”
Tyrone’s face remained dark, but Brad didn’t back down.
“Zera is a pure and kind angel. She doesn’t have a selfish bone in her body. You’d be crazy not to marry her.”
Tyrone leaned on the railing. “Trying to provoke me won’t work. I’m not divorcing Aella.”
Brad sighed. “Fine. Tomorrow is Juneteenth. If you’re so confident, bring Aella home for the holiday first. Then tell me again you two are not getting divorced.”
After Brad left, Tyrone stayed on the balcony, thinking.
He’d known Aella for over 20 years. She had never shown him any disrespect–not even jokingly.
Even during the month he stayed away because of Zera, she never laid a hand on him.
But tonight, she slapped him.
Tyrone rubbed the spot on his face where Aella had slapped him, feeling the sting.
All he could picture were her sharp, determined eyes.
He couldn’t sleep and wandered around his apartment.
He didn’t even know what he was looking for, or what he wanted.
He just couldn’t stop pacing or calm down.
